So I stumbled upon some flatware marked "Italy 800" and now have about two pounds of it.
I took it down to sell to the local coin an scrap place and the girl seemed excited about it. However when she acid tested it, she looked a little puzzled, and left and went to speak with someone else. She came back and took a big notch out with a file and re-tested. She said she wasn't sure about it and "wasn't authorized" to purchase it from me. :shock:
She honestly didn't know she said. :shock: ??? She said the acid test had an unusual reaction..
I took my gigantic magnet to it and it seems *slightly* magnetic.... like just a slight pull towards it. When I took an ordinary knife out of my kitchen drawer it pulls violently towards the magnet in comparison... I say violently because I pinched my finger when I did it lol
What do I have? Poop-soup? If the stuff is 800/1000 silver, could the other 20% be a magnetic material, causing the slight magnetic pull? What about the funky acid reaction?
